Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:1-20

Chapter 28In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. And his countenance was like lightning, and his raiment was as white as snow: and for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 28:1-20

The history and evidences of our Saviour’s resurrection, being of infinite importance, are reserved to the last chapter of St. John. Matthew 28:1 . In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn towards the first day of the week. Εις μιαν Σαββατων , towards the first of sabbaths. The Vulgate Latin reads the same: in prima sabbati. Calvin also says, Le premier des sabbaths. See Luke 24:1. These readings intimate that the sabbath, or first day, was appointed by the Lord himself, as... read more

Matthew 28:16-20Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee.On the mountainI. Is the world’s need any less now than it was then? The needs of the human soul are still unsupplied by any material satisfactions. The conscience of the world is still troubled with the old problem, “How shall man be just with God.” If the gospel be withheld from the knowledge of mankind the problem remains insoluble. The misery of man is great upon him still. “Go ye therefore,” etc. Tell men that God loves them.... read more

Matthew 28:19Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations.A plea for missionsThere are many lessons in these words.1. A lesson as to the result of death. Some thought that death had taken all “power “ from Christ. They that follow Christ as well as the Master are not robbed by death; but on the other side of it they say, “Power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.”2. The reward of labour. The reward of toil is a call to a wider task, to conquer the world for Christ.3. The cure of doubt. “But... read more

Go ye therefore ] In this my strength, as Gideon did against the Midianites, Judges 7:13 ; and though but a barley cake, coarse and contemptible, yet shall ye overthrow the world’s tents, yea, the strongholds of Satan; though you have but lamps and pitchers in your hands, yet shall ye achieve great matters.

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Matthew 28:19

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:Disciple all nations — Make them my disciples. This includes the whole design of Christ's commission. Baptizing and teaching are the two great branches of that general design. And these were to be determined by the circumstances of things; which made it necessary in baptizing adult Jews or heathens, to teach them before they were baptized; in discipling their children, to... read more
